"Don't slouch" and "sit up - shoulders back!" were commonly used phrases that probably pervaded your childhood... And although parents, teachers and guardians loved chastising us for bad posture, they did have a very good point... So why is posture so important anyway?
Practising good posture is about improving the body's natural positioning and correctly aligning body parts to avoid pain or discomfort when sitting or standing. If bad posture persists it can lead to all sorts of negative consequences such as muscle soreness, exacerbated stress and even poor digestion.
So how do you go about achieving perfect posture? CosyCo have put together our most popular products to help you improve your sitting or standing habits...
